    The Bastion de Montmorency in Rocroi is an impressive example of 17th-century military architecture. Located on Rue de la Percée, this bastion is part of the star-shaped fortification structure that makes Rocroi so unique. It was built between 1665 and 1673 under the direction of the famous military engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, on the orders of Louis XIV.

      The first belt of bastioned fortifications was built in 1555. You will find an orientation table there.
